I must be insane. I just spent too much money on a factory sealed "new in box" never used N900.

Re-downloaded all the firmware files and flasher utilities.

We'll see what I can get this thing to do!

#1 - you didn't post what you paid for it...uh-oh!

#1B - So I am guessing that you probably shouldn't tell the wife how much you spent.

#2 - Bet the biggest single word going through your mind right now is "Whoopsie!"

#3 - (considering the above, ..) Why ...yes...yes indeed, questioning your sanity is valid.

1 thing the n900 will not do ...
is spread marmite on your toast for you...
(unless you strap a drone with a butter knife to your n900 ...that is...)

Yes. you probably are insane. But don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you are doing.

Best thing to do ..is cease your internal debate on your sanity.
Leave no doubt.

Are you sure this is genuine and not those new china made? There are slight differences on the boxes N900 pictures topography as well as which way the cardboard lines go if I recall correct. There might be a video about the differences on youtube. Fake N900 or something may bring it from search.

I and others here assumed he did his due diligence ..Maemish.
If it is a fake he will shortly notice it when he begins to try to do ...pretty much anything....
at which point ,if the OP then posts vid or photo of its behaviour and output, that will / should verify the n900 authenticity.

There also hasn't been any new reported fake n900's on youtube for 6 years now.
https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=E...uery=fake+n900
It is entirely possible the n900 is considered so old now as to not be a profitable option to "fake" any longer.
It is possible there may still be the odd fake one floating around out there....
But I think that time may be done.

It's coming from the states. He supplied very good pics of the box and labels. Even of the seal on the box showing it had never been opened. I trust that it's genuine.

I used to have an N900 way back in the day. I'm ready, baby!

I can post pics and updates if y'all want :-p
